I went to take a shower this morning and the water was scalding hot - we use this shower daily.

I tried the sink and the shower in our other bathroom – it was fine.

So my question is – do you think the cartridge is gone in the shower?

Any other suggestions?

It would help to know what brand of mixer you have----But---yes--likely failure of the cartridge---

Sounds like the anti scald valve is stuck inside the unit.

Thanks - I am not sure what type of unit it is - I will check when I get home.

Well I went home and took apart the handle assembly - got down to the cartridge - I tried and tried but could not get it out - so I decided to I would put the pin back in and give it a try - well the shower runs perfect - hot and cold and warm....I must have loosened something up when I took it apart.
